Cap space post Davis signing


Captain Morgan

Recommended Posts

Damn cap space has always been like dry land in Waterworld. Like you hope it exists but you've never actually seen it for yourself. 

 

Gettleman is like Kevin Costner. 

​KB's tattoos were the final piece of the map.

fugin right. save that poo for keuchley and norman and then roll over whatever's left. we gotta start thinking about how to deal with charles johnson, who will end up being the last of the big hurney contracts once we assassinate jonathan stewart

If I'm not mistaken, given that TD's salary stayed $7.25m and he got $9m to sign, prorated over 3 years, that brings his 2015 cap # to $10.25m, which actually slices our cap space nominally ($9.9m cap number before extension vs. $10.25m now). 

The deal includes a $9 million signing bonus, part of a total compensation package of $10.25 million in 2015. He’ll make $3.5 million in 2016 and $4.25 million in 2017.

The deal also has an injury guarantee of $1.5 million in 2016. The $10.25 million to be earned in 2015 is fully guaranteed.

I don't think there's much left on the market. We might give someone an extension or just carry it over. 

​I would not be adverse to a large carry over.

If the Oline does not protect our Franchise that we are fully committed to this season, spend large dollars bringing in FA help next offseason to ensure Cam's health and success.

Gettleman won't go into a bidding war over a coveted free agent. If you've noticed he'll give a fair deal and the player has to fit the system. He has to be a good fit.  Otherwise it won't work. There aren't any players in the market tight now to spend on that will fit this team the way Gettleman sees it. I'm alright with that. I'd rather he keep building through the draft and sign role players like he's been doing than go marty hurney on some overrated player. We aren't desperate anymore. We can choose now.

We need to finish extending our core, those we definitely want to keep. It's vital. Why? Because when we win the Super Bowl, 31 other teams will be trying to sign our FA's. Our core should not become FA's anytime soon. You know, so we can win the Super Bowl a 2nd time.

Just thinking ahead here ................. :D

I'd like to get to the Packers level. Where 90+% of the team was drafted by them.

    • Mike Davis is like yeah, why would these coaches expect me to watch film on our next opponent if I'm playing good.  Yeah, I really don't pay attention to a lot of stuff around me if I'm doing good.   also Mike Davis, how dare they give all the reps to CMC.  from just listening to that interview, I think Mike Davis likely was often in Mike Davis' way and he can't comprehend that aspect.  Even his story of why he hated people.....was weird.  He hated Steve Spurrier because Spurrier was like hey Mike, Marcus Lattimore left...and we need you to step up into that role/void and be more for us.   And Mike Davis was like, can you believe that motha trucka!! Nah Steve.  Just give me the ball and leave me alone (paraphrasing it all obviously but that was the gist). 
    • Unless he's 1,000%, just sit him an extra week at this point to let him get his legs back under him. I want to see him out there as much as the next guy, but this was a serious thing and I'd rather wait an extra week than put him out one day too early and risk something going wrong, play the long game for once.
    • God, these posts are really starting to piss me off If we're relying on Moore, Idzik, and Canales to carry that weight, then we're royally screwing over our young WR room.  It's not that those guys can't help with some of it, but these young promising WRs are going to miss out on a lot of learning that can only be provided by the vets on the team.   You do realize that coaches spend ZERO time in the locker room, right?   They are only in there just before games and at halftime, but the rest of the week, they have their own locker room, they only spend time with the players on the field and in the film room.  There is soooooo much time that you're leaving unaccounted for where players are working together to get better. Players are constantly talking about their game and how they can improve while they're in the locker room.  If you think career long special teamer David Moore is going to be able to carry that water in the locker room, then you're sorely and woefully mistaken. Even beyond that, if a coach pulls a player aside to give advice between series, that still means there are 4-5 other WRs who aren't getting individual advice, where that's normally a time a vet like Thielen is going over with them what he's seeing out there and how they can do X, Y, or Z to do A, B, or C better on the next drive.
